Reaction Steps

Trimethylsulphoxonium iodide (2.25 g) was added portionwise to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (0.5 g of a 50% dispersion in oil) in dimethylsulphoxide (20 cm3) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour after which time 6,7-dimethoxy-4-[4-(1-oxoethyl)piperid-1-yl]quinazoline (3.15 g) was added in DMSO (10 cm3). After 1 hour the mixture was poured into water (50 cm3), extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 cm3) and the dried extracts (MgSO4) were evaporated to give an oil which was chromatographed on silica (Merck 60.9385) eluting with chloroform to give a viscous oil. Trituration with ether gave 2-methyl-2-[1-(6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yl)piperid-4-yl]oxirane slightly contaminated with the starting ketone (2.0 g).
